Our favourite places to eat in London:
It wouldn’t be an English summer without ice cold *clinks* (did someone say Aperol?) and delicious dinners. Whether you head straight to a pub garden on Friday or prefer a rooftop bar, hot spots are popping up all over the city. In fact, not one but two crowd pleasers have opened near the bustle of Borough Market. Facilitating day to night dining, the delicious pair are perfect for a Saturday in the sun.
Carrubo and In Horto
Carrubo – SE1
Opening their doors simultaneously this July, Carrubo and In Horto come from the brains behind Flat Iron Square (so you can expect a great time).
Carrubo‘s sprawling terrace will take you back to holidays in the Mediterranean, the white tiles and oh-so chic seating bring Santorini to SE1. Take a seat, peruse the wine list – which are on tap, by the way – and order an Instagram-ready serving of tasty crostinis. You can’t book this destination, so head there before others do.
Looking for something a little more refined? In Horto does the trick. As the name suggests, the menu is all about bringing the garden indoors – and we don’t just mean the deco. Whilst you sit surrounded by botanicals, you can tuck into hearty dishes sourced from some of the UK’s most sustainable suppliers. Chef’s kiss.
